At the Gabba, the outfield's couch and rye turf becomes the main pollen source as grass counts build from September and run through the December and January cricket calendar, sometimes staying elevated into the new year's Test matches. Ahead of that, tree pollen around the ground and inner-city precinct typically peaks August to October. Spectators at winter footy fixtures may also catch bushfire smoke drifting over the stadium in the drier months before Brisbane's wet season sets in.

The Brisbane pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Brisbane, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
